Welcome to eWillys.com, a website for vintage jeep enthusiasts. I update this website nearly every day with jeep deals, jeep history, interesting reader projects, jeep related info, and more.
These quick searches can help you find things on eBay. People list in the wrong categories all the time, so don't be surprised to see brochures in the parts area for example.
The links to posts below show jeeps grouped by models, condition, and other ways. Some of these jeeps are for sale and others have been sold. If you are unsure whether a vehicle is still for sale or not, email me at d [at] ewillys.com for more info.
There are plenty of interesting, unusual, historic and surprising stories related to Jeeps and their owners. In addition, some of these features have nothing to do with jeeps. This link will display all featured stories starting from the latest.
Looking for parts and not sure where to go? There are a variety of large and small new and used parts sellers both online and offline.
Importantly, the allure of buying a project jeep can be romantic. The reality of restoring a jeep can be quite different, expensive and overwhelming without the right tools and resources. So, tread carefully when purchasing a "project". If you have any concerns about buying a vintage jeep, or run across a scam, feel free to contact me for help, comments or concerns .
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $11,500.
Travis shared this one. Has a replacement tailgate.
“Restored 1947 driven very little since resto. New interior, new Best-top. Condition is original and speaks for itself. I do not need help selling this vehicle-pls. do not ask. Texts will be returned, but very slowly.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000.
Serial number is supposed to be #10665.
“Willy’s Overland CJ2A 1945. Serial number 10665 The good: Rare model only 1824 were produced. All serial number plates are intact. Rare three speed column shift. Drive train all intact. All gauges are intact. Tailgate is in good shape. Comes with metal cab. The bad: Frame is completely gone. Tub has been covered with sheet metal and might be salvageable. Windshield is rotted. No paperwork except bill of sale from the last owner. It was last registered in 1985 in RI”

“This is a project vehicle! It is a 1948 Jeep Willys. It was my grandfather’s. I unfortunately dont know much about it but can try to answer any questions you have. I do have a rebuilt motor that he built for it (pictured) but never got it put in the jeep. It has a clean title. As far as I know it is all original as far as parts but looks like its been painted before. Any questions just ask.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $9000.
(07/17/2018) The body looks to be a DJ-3A body. I don’t see anything that suggest this was a 1943 MB/GPW.
“I have a 1943 Willys for sale. It is in excellent condition. It has 20,200 miles on it! I have a second set of black Willys wheels with military tires for it as well. Paint is a year old. I have the doors for it. It has the original drivetrain.(Go devil flathead engine, t90 transmission with Warn overdrive!). I have a tow bar for it, so it can be pulled behind a truck or r.v. This is the 18th and most favorite Jeep I’ve owned. I don’t have to sell, but I’m moving in a couple of weeks, so the cash would be helpful in the coming months. This jeep will not disappoint you! I will consider reasonable offers, but please don’t lowball me”
Looks in good shape. Front Bumper might be bend slightly upward.

“For Sale: 1948 Willys Jeep CJ2A; new military style tires; new vinyl top; new Warn hubs; runs good”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000.
(08/01/2018) Has a little bit of rust. Has Cutlas Powerlock hubs.
“This Jeep has been in the family since 1950, but it is time to let it go. It is not all original, the windshield is off a CJ3A, the rims are 15s not 16s, the tires are not military tread, converted to 12 volt, and the tire mount is on the tailgate not on the side. The motor though is the original 70 horse go devil motor and as far as I know has been rebuilt once. I think it may need to be done again as it smokes some on occasion.
It has a couple of rust spots and a few dents, but so would you if you were 70 years old! This old jeep just needs some TLC and it will be good to go. I just drive it around town in the summer, probably put less than a hundred miles a year on it but don’t know for sure since the speedometer hasn’t worked for almost 40 years. New head gasket last year and new hoses, belts, etc. Have custom made canvas top and spare tire, but the tire is probably older than me. All negotiations must be in person, thanks.”
Runs and drives.

(08/18/2018) Parts or project.
“I have a non-running 1948 Willys Jeep that is mainly for parts (or for an adventurous restorer). It has an excellent grill, hood, radiator, gas tank, tail gate, front and rear differentials, drive shafts, wheels and seat frames. I would categorize the frame as good to very good. The front fenders can be repaired. The tub is junk. The windshield is pretty much junk. The motor looks ok but will not turn over at this time. I have oil in the spark plug holes. The oil in the motor looks ok. The transmission and transfer case shifters move in and out of gear. I have taped things up to keep the mice out. I also have a home made top and doors for the Jeep that can be purchased for an extra $100. I would like $1200 for the old girl.”

“I have for sale a 1947 Willys CJ 2A that has been owned by our hunting club since 1959. We have a paper title and was donated to the club by a previous member. It was used to drive and the property. We have decided that it is time to sell it to someone looking for a old Willys. It runs and drives. Has the original 6 volt electrical system. No canvas. The original motor was replaced by the club member that owned it, but he has passed away many years ago so that is all we know. Axle numbers match, but engine numbers do not. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or arrange to look it over. There is some damage on the back passenger side wheel well, other than that the tub is in fine shape for it’s age.”

Travis shared this odd-bodied jeep. Is that a cut down 3A windshield?
“custom body on a frame off rebuild about 10yrs old. motor completely done, as well as suspension drive train etc. body is extremely strong. made of 1/8 inch plate steel. undercoated. jeep could use a bath and a little tlc and maybe some camo paint. 3 way plow included. registered and inspected–runs and drives good. tranny has a chipped tooth in 1st and reverse gear still drives ok but you will hear a clicking sound other than that this thing is a tank. it will go anywhere. strong and dependable. we are moving and can not take with us.”

This appears to have a slat grille from an MB. The windshield looks taller or maybe the glass is larger?
